I have a few Burning Man pictures lined up for the next few weeks since they just look so awesome. Yes, I was dumb enough to pull out my camera during a fill blown white out at Burning Man.

Burning Man Pics: Storm Encroaching the Playa

There is nothing quite like the sight of an encroaching storm on the dry desert over Burning Man. In true Over Yonderlust fashion, it rained on us.

While this picture did make its debut in a previous Burning Man post,… Continue reading Burning Man Pics: Storm Encroaching the Playa

Travel Vaccines – The More You Know

When I was looking for information on vaccines I found that there was very little on the internet. You know you have to get them, but you really don’t know much more than that. Seeing as we just went through this giant debacle, I thought I would share the plethora of information that I received… Continue reading Travel Vaccines – The More You Know

San Francisco Road Trip – Coming From Burning Man

I can, without a shadow of a doubt, say that I left my heart in San Francisco. Our San Francisco road trip part of our trip really caught me off guard. What can I say? I fell in love. People have often told me that San Francisco is essentially California’s version of Austin, Texas. While… Continue reading San Francisco Road Trip – Coming From Burning Man

Road Trip: Reno to San Francisco

The road trip from Burning Man to Reno to San Francisco is one of the most horrific experiences I have had driving so far.

The Man Burns: Burning Man Part 5

When we pulled up to Burning Man our first day, I didn't understood why, when arriving at the gate, the volunteers welcome every single car with a hearty, "WELCOME HOME!" and a hug (yes, they make you hug out the car window or GET OUT of the car!) until I was about to leave the… Continue reading The Man Burns: Burning Man Part 5
